ROCHESTER — Would you like to run or walk for a good cause? Maybe even wear a costume while doing it?

Then sign up for the first Pumpkin 5K Road Race benefiting Boston Children’s Hospital, happening on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 10 am.

Sponsored by Eastern Propane, Lilac City Pediatrics and the Spaulding High School Interact Club, this race starts and ends at the Rochester Community Center and runs through Rochester. The course is a sanctioned 5K course with age group medals, post race food and electronic timing is provided by New England Timing. And we will have candy.

Boston Children’s Hospital is one of the top ranked hospitals in the country. From the latest advances in many fields like cardiology and neurology, they provide life saving care, including for hundreds of New Hampshire kids right in our area. By fundraising for them, Pumpkin 5k helps them to continue with this mission.
